    Hi everyone! I’m Maria, just started working for Q as a Community Convener, supporting member activity in SIGs and beyond. And I live in Sheffield so thought I’d say hi here 🙂

    I’m really curious to connect with you all, tune in to what’s happening in QI in the region, and explore if/how Q could support any of it. Eg. could we do a local event?

    If anyone’s up for a virtual/in-person chat, I’d love to hear from you.

    I met with Helen Crimlisk (who is not in this group I think?) for a walk the other day and it was lovely. Meeting Sarah Dew (also not in this group I think?) in a couple of weeks, she’s a new Q member who works for Yorkshire & Humber AHSN’s Innovation Hub. 

    If any ideas/needs emerges from those conversations I’ll share here and get your thoughts 🙂

    Oh and I should also say that I’m new(ish) to Sheffield, lived in London for about 6 years and I’m Danish. My background is in community and events organising, not health, and I’m now very curious about how the two interact (community and health).

    Thanks for reading!

      Hi! An in-person meetup in Yorkshire sounds fab! I’m Leeds based.

      In terms of what I would like – I am trying to plan out an event with patients and the public about how we use health data for research, QI and clinical care. I think clinicians, patients, researchers need to get out of their silos and listen to the other groups 🙂 has anyone done anything similar/can you advise? Currently have no budget for this but it could be a Q Exchange project for next year maybe
